About This Item
Stated First Edition/First Printing; A Near Fine book in a Very Good price clipped dust jacket. SIGNED and inscribed with a full page doodle to the front free paper. An outstanding copy of this novel by the 20th century SciFi master; this book uncommon in the marketplace in collectible condition, particularly signed. This copy is in near fine condition with a square, tight binding, bright silver letting over clean blue boards, and clean, white pages throughout; the book does show some light rubbing to the lower board edges, else fine. Housed in a crisp, clean, and bright very good dust jacket that would grade near fine or better if not for being price clipped; the jacket shows only some mild rubbing to the ends and edges, and a slightly off-center fold to the jacket at the spine. Overall, a gorgeous copy with a unique Bradbury signing; a highly collectible copy of a scarce book. Not remaindered, not ex-library; in a protective Mylar sleeve and will ship carefully wrapped in a sturdy box.
